Someone was complaining about gas prices and saying how they used to "only" pay 50 cents a gallon back in 1974. I pointed out that adjusted for inflation, that would be $3.32 today, and our current prices are $2.81. He didn't have a response. I think I may have broken something in his brain.

@GaryPoole his ego is now adjusted for deflation.
I’ve introduced online inflation calculators to many people, the responses vary but are usually shocked. Gas is kinda tricky to get an exact apples to apples comparison as sales taxes may vary over time.
